I think Scott's right. If he spends the time on this, implements it, and virus writers immediately adapt as he suggested, then the effort was wasted as it has not other longer reaching benefit. I think development time should be spent on features that will have ongoing value. Otherwise we will always be reactive and never proactive...

Common Scott ;-) If other Email AV-Solutions maybe would add this as feature, so also we Declude-users hope to have it available soon. Otherwise if we are the only Email AV-Customers having such a feature you can be proud if there would come out a virus that will try to bypass "Declude". Try to imagine the virus name: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" But before this happens we are proud to have such a feature. Ok, I dont know how much work it will be to add such a feature, but the idea sounds really good.
